A music festival in Perth is not only rubbing their lockdown-free life in Victoria’s face, they’re using Premier Dan Andrews to do it.
In a video circulating on social media platform Tik Tok, DJ Hot Dub Time Machine can be seen remixing the Victorian Premier’s press conferences into a song about “getting on the beers”.
“That’s what’s most important — the beers,” a mash-up of different parts of Mr Andrews’ remarks is heard over the top of a dance track.
“As best we can tell, the dinner party started with one case of beers … as far as we can tell, everyone at the dinner party had case of the beers.
“Get on the beers … that’s your civic duty … that’s what’s most important and that’s what must be done.”
The music builds before the DJ uses the Victorian Premier saying “beers” to drop the beat.

“This one’s for you Melbourne from Perth,” reveller Hannah, who filmed the video, wrote.
The video was taken at the Wine Machine Festival, which was held in Swan Valley on Saturday night.
As Melburnians slammed her for uploading the video, Hannah reminded everyone it was all lighthearted and in good fun.
“Thank you for taking it as a joke, didn’t realise it would trigger some people so badly,” she replied to one Melburnian.
“Jeez we have some salty Melbourne people over here. Perth really isn’t bad,” she added.
In another comment, one Victorian thanked Perth for embracing Mr Andrews.
“As a Melburnian, why are there so many pressed Melburnians? This is sick that they’re vibing to our fearless leader, just wish we could with them,” the Melburnian said.
Western Australia, with its hard border, has managed to ease coronavirus restrictions more than most states.
Entertainment and sporting venues have been allowed to reopen at 50 per cent capacity.
HBF Park, where the Wine Machine Festival was held, is permitted to host 16,500 people.
Photos taken at the event with Hot Dub Time Machine showed thousands of Perth revellers congregating for the festival.
